New Castle is scheduled to begin its Little League World Series run at 8 p.m. today against Gresham National (Oregon,) a game that will be televised on ESPN.

New Castle's subsequent schedule is dependent on the result of tonight's game. The opening phase of the tournament is double elimination, though each team is guaranteed three games during its stay. Teams that are eliminated after two games play a consolation game against another such team before departing. New Castle is the Great Lakes Regional champion, and will be wearing orange Great Lakes uniforms during the tournament.
